Just saw this thread, so I figured I'd share some knowledge (been gaming for 8 years).

So the reason why people are avoiding these things like the plague is because they STINK. The Intel chipsets ARE more powerful than the NVIDIA 320M, BUT, that doesn't always equal better performance.

Game developers usually design games on nvidia chipsets (Hence, "Nvidia: The way it's meant to be played) slogan. Although the 3000HD shows better specs, it's been proven to perform worse in game. The reason being that the drivers are total rubbish. Until they can improve the drivers, it's a downgrade. But then again.............who in their right mind would try and game with a laptop!? ;)

:eek: You're joking right?

I have always gamed on laptops - M17x, M11x, MBP, VAIO Z... list goes on and on. Add the Air to that list now. The 320M is a very capable chip and it can play many modern games at medium settings smoothly.

The way you describe laptop chipsets makes you sound like you've only ever tried laptop gaming with a GMA500 :p

I too will be swapping out my US made foreign car for an "American" car, but anymore, I'm not sure what that means.

IMO, a car built in America is an American made car, that's what it means. A Ford Fiesta, built in Mexico, is no more of an American car than my VW built in Germany and definitely less of an American car than a Honda Civic built in Indiana.

I am not sure if this information is completely accurate. While there is the amazon.de site, which displays "Media: DVD"

http://j.mp/lion_amazon_de

there is also the amazon US product site, which clearly states "Media: Software".

http://j.mp/lion_amazon_us

On amazon.co.uk it does not even show up in the search results.

While I personally think that OSX 10.7 Lion will be made available via DVD, I also think there will be USB-Stick versions. I cannot think of a way that Lion will be made availabe via app store, this makes no sense - maybe they will sell just the update from SL to Lion via the appstore, but definitely not the retail versions.

Am I the only one that feels like we've heard this song and dance before?? Isn't it the same stuff we heard from the record companies and music stores when people started downloading music? You can't stop a technological shift just because you want to keep the same profits. Let Wally-World and Target threaten all they want. It's not going to stop anything.

I don't think the number of clicks is the best metric here. If there are hundreds of articles in a category, it takes a long time to skim through the list of them. If you can spend a few extra seconds narrowing down what you're looking for, it can be much faster to find something.

Then that means merging articles wherever possible, and as I suggested before, using the subcategories as filters rather than points of separation. That way we can reduce article clutter while simultaneously avoiding arbitrary separation between different types of software simply because they don't fit the idea of being "Mac" like.

OK, let's take this one small step at a time and see what we've come up with.

No four door cars! And I will settle down when I find a nice young man who doesn't annoy me. Preferably one who likes to play hockey or some other sport.

I'm not going for 100% US-made. I'd like something designed and assembled in the US with a US-made frame.

American carmakers don't really do "sexy" anymore, unless you find trucks and SUVs sexy. Ponycars are pretty much your only option.

Hence the Camaro or the Challenger. The Mustang? Meh. It looks clunky. Not that I don't appreciate Ford's attempt to bring back a classic design and update it, but the car looks like crap, TBH. Something just isn't right. They got the Thunderbird right, but priced it out of reach.

Well, I know if I had to buy a new car now, the Hyundai Genesis coupe would be on my short list. I would definitely take one out for a test drive at the very least.

That's kind of cute. Do they make a convertible?

They don't come any sexier than an American Corvette

Another near miss. They ruined it when they got rid of the covered headlights.The 2004 model was the last good one, IMO.

Just found this Mustang concept that is making the auto show rounds. This will be cool if they actually do it.

The important pieces to note about the marketshare is that this definitely is coming from switchers, not from upgraders. If you look at the data, you will see that it's broken up between MacOS and MacIntel. The data for MacOS is just PPC people, and that actually remained constant throughout the year: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/chartfx62/temp/CFT1102_0428382CEA7.gif

while the marketshare for MacIntel has been a nice parabolic curve: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/chartfx62/temp/CFT1102_04293606D2A.gif

for full information go here:http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=2

So who is going out today to try and find one? I personally think the chances are slim to none.

If history is going to repeat itself with this iPad launch, the Apple stores will trickle in 10 or so units every day until the initial demand is met. It will be very difficult to get one for a while (I'd say for at least a couple months), unless you're willing to call every Apple store in your area every day in hopes to reserve one before others do.

I've resigned myself to the simpler option: I've ordered online with a three-four week delivery timeframe. And with that I feel like I'm evolving.

Apart from the backlit keyboard, choice of screen (which is also larger), aluminium casing, expresscard.

Some aren't that convinced that it's worth the extra coin though, and I can empathise with that view too.

OSX alone is worth spending 10 grand on a laptop. We are so lucky to have this capitalism thing. Otherwise with communism a Mac will indeed cost a year's harvest of grain.

Is there any user-doable diagnosis for Mac 128K floppy drives? So, the disk doesn't drop into either drive? Hmmm. Both could be bad, but that seems kind of unlikely. Any chance there's a disk already in either or both? (They should auto-eject if so, but...) Anything interesting when you stuff a (large) straightened paperclip in the hole?

Are you certain the external drive is a 400k one? You can identify it with help of this page: http://www.vintagemacworld.com/drives.html

Starting by dissembling and cleaning the external drive will be easier than pulling apart the Mac 128...

I have a DS that I am interested in selling but I am not interested in that PC. Is there anything you are interested in trading for?

All this image shows is that the person measuring the white iPhone 4 has no idea how to use a caliper. The idea of a caliper isn't to squeeze the crap out of whatever you're measuring. It is obvious that the in the right picture they are squeezing much harder just looking at the discoloration of the persons skin on their thumb.

Wow, now we're holding the caliper wrong. Pretty soon Steve is gonna to release an "All thumbs have their weaknesses" video.

It does seem superfluous to have 3 ports now that wifi is (finally) built in and Kinect has its own port.

His past policies and statement do not jive with the Tea Party, and I cannot imagine where that association came from.

He's using the birther bit for publicity and attracting the flavor of the day (the Tea Party).

That almost makes me feel bad for selling a 16GB Wi-Fi only for $375 last week. oh well...I'm over it.

Don't feel bad I bought a first gen iPad right before the iPad 2 launch. I paid $500 for a 32GB 3G, and I still love it! Worth the money and will hold me over till iPad 3 retina display!
